Each car parking at the festival site will need a parking pass. Parking passes will be available for $5 in May/June and $10 in July/August and must be purchased in advance. We are limited to having 200 cars on site and there is no off-site parking anywhere near the festival grounds. As a result, we highly encourage purchasing your parking passes and arranging carpools as early as possible.

"WHAT IF I CAN'T FIND ANYBODY TO GO WITH / AM DRIVING FROM A LONG DISTANCE / ETC.?"

We're encouraging people to use the RPM Fest 2018 event page as a means of organizing carpools. Post your general location, days you wish to attend, and any other pertinent info. Additionally, there is plenty of free and cheap metered parking in downtown Greenfield, about 3 miles from the event site - you can arrange to meet someone in town and carpool in from there.

Tickets and parking passes will be picked up at the gate. Please bring a valid form of photo ID to collect your tickets and parking passes. Leave your parking pass on the dashboard of your car.

"IS RE-ENTRY ALLOWED?"

Re-entry is only permitted if you either leave the site in the morning BEFORE gates are open, or at night AFTER gates are closed. If you leave while gates are open, you will have to come back after gates close or on the following day. This will be strictly enforced as it makes our parking situation a nightmare otherwise.
